Xbox One Backwards Compatible List

Should you already own any of these new backwards compatible games, then they should show up automatically in your Xbox One game library.

However, if you don't own the games or indeed any of the Xbox 360 titles previously announced as backwards compatible then there is still hope for you.

All you have to do is head over to the Xbox 360 backwards compatibility store on the Xbox store, making it easier than ever to search for and download these classic titles directly on your Xbox One.

So if you're interested in trying out a Xbox 360 classic but don't already own a copy of the game, you can still give it a go like everyone else.

Looking towards the future, Mike Ybarra the Director of Program Management said towards the end of 2016 that this year's new Microsoft console, Project Scorpio, would look to include Backwards compatibility.

Writing on Twitter earlier this year Phil Spencer also provided more details on how the backwards compatibility service would work on Project Scorpio, which has been dubbed Microsoft's most powerful console ever created.

But with the most recent release of Scorpio specs from Digital Foundry Xbox users have been given some even better info.

According to the Xbox hardware team, Xbox users existing library of games will run "smoother, look better and load faster" on Xbox One Scorpio.

Hopefully, as we edge closer to the release, which many believe will be at the end of the year, we'll learn more about how these services might work.
